Letter and Sound Identification

Families,

Right now we are assessing what upper and lower case letters and letter-sounds your child knows. This is an essential emergent reading skill. Once our assessments are complete, we will be sending home a copy of what letters your child was able to recognize, along with some upper and lower case letter matching cards. Please take time to practice letter recognition and letter-sound relationships with your child. It's an investment in their future reading success. We are available to answer any questions you might have and can support you in this endeavour. Thank you for your continued interest in our children and program!
